Abstract

Provided is a vehicle display device. The vehicle display device includes: a display body and a heating structure; wherein the display body has a bending region and a non-bending region, and the heating structure is disposed on a back side of the display body and in the bending region, wherein a front side of the display body is configured for display, and the back side is opposite to the front side.

Claims (28)

1 . A vehicle display device, comprising: a display body and a heating structure; wherein the display body has a bending region and a non-bending region, and the heating structure is disposed on a back side of the display body and in the bending region, wherein a front side of the display body is configured for display, and the back side is opposite to the front side,

wherein the display body comprises a flexible display panel and a support plate; wherein the support plate is connected to one side of the flexible display panel, the heating structure is disposed on a side, distal from the flexible display panel, of the support plate, and the support plate has an etching region at least partially overlapped with the bending region,

the bending region is within the etching region, and

an etching depth of the non-bending region decreases in a direction away from the bending region.

2 . The vehicle display device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a temperature sensor disposed on the back side of the display body and in the non-bending region; wherein the temperature sensor is configured to detect a temperature of the display body.

3 . The vehicle display device according to claim 2 , further comprising: a circuit board disposed on the back side of the display body and in the non-bending region; wherein the display body, the heating structure, and the temperature sensor are electrically connected to the circuit board, and the circuit board is configured to control the heating structure to operate in response to the temperature of the display body being below a preset value.

4 . The vehicle display device according to claim 3 , wherein the display body has two bending regions, and the circuit board and the temperature sensor are disposed between the two bending regions.

5 . The vehicle display device according to claim 1 , wherein one portion of the etching region is within the bending region, the other portion of the etching region is outside the bending region, and the heating structure is outside the etching region.

6 . The vehicle display device according to claim 1 , wherein in the etching region, an etching depth of the bending region is not less than an etching depth of the non-bending region.

7 . The vehicle display device according to claim 1 , wherein a minimum etching depth of the non-bending region is not less than one fifth of a thickness of the support panel.

8 . The vehicle display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display body further comprises a touch layer disposed on a side, distal form the support plate, of the flexible display panel, or disposed within the flexible display panel.

9 . A method for controlling a vehicle display device, applicable to a vehicle display device, wherein the vehicle display device comprises: a display body and a heating structure; wherein the display body has a bending region and a non-bending region, and the heating structure is disposed on a back side of the display body and in the bending region, wherein a front side of the display body is configured for display, and the back side is opposite to the front side, the method comprising:

acquiring a temperature of the display body;

controlling the heating structure to operate in response to the temperature of the display body being less than a preset value,

wherein the display body comprises a flexible display panel and a support plate; wherein the support plate is connected to one side of the flexible display panel, the heating structure is disposed on a side, distal from the flexible display panel, of the support plate, and the support plate has an etching region at least partially overlapped with the bending region,

the bending region is within the etching region, and

an etching depth of the non-bending region decreases in a direction away from the bending region.

10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the vehicle display device further comprises: a temperature sensor disposed on the back side of the display body and in the non-bending region; wherein the temperature sensor is configured to detect a temperature of the display body.

11 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the vehicle display device further comprises: a circuit board disposed on the back side of the display body and in the non-bending region; wherein the display body, the heating structure, and the temperature sensor are electrically connected to the circuit board, and the circuit board is configured to control the heating structure to operate in response to the temperature of the display body being below a preset value.

12 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein the display body has two bending regions, and the circuit board and the temperature sensor are disposed between the two bending regions.

13 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the display body comprises a flexible display panel and a support plate; wherein the support plate is connected to one side of the flexible display panel, the heating structure is disposed on a side, distal from the flexible display panel, of the support plate, and the support plate has an etching region at least partially overlapped with the bending region.

14 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein the bending region is within the etching region.

15 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein in the etching region, an etching depth of the bending region is not less than an etching depth of the non-bending region.

16 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein one portion of the etching region is within the bending region, the other portion of the etching region is outside the bending region, and the heating structure is outside the etching region.

17 . A vehicle, comprising: a vehicle display device, wherein the vehicle display device comprises: a display body and a heating structure; wherein the display body has a bending region and a non-bending region, and the heating structure is disposed on a back side of the display body and in the bending region, wherein a front side of the display body is configured for display, and the back side is opposite to the front side,

wherein the display body comprises a flexible display panel and a support plate; wherein the support plate is connected to one side of the flexible display panel, the heating structure is disposed on a side, distal from the flexible display panel, of the support plate, and the support plate has an etching region at least partially overlapped with the bending region,

the bending region is within the etching region, and

an etching depth of the non-bending region decreases in a direction away from the bending region.
